19 HINTS & TIPS - 3M Select the Right Respirator Once you have selected the protection factor you require, you can then consider whether you need a cup-shaped respirator, or a foldable respirator, whether it has buckled straps and whether it is valved or not. 3M Cup-Shaped Respirators +Convex shape, nose clip and twin strap design +Easy to fit +Durable, collapse resistant shell 3M Foldable Respirators +Ultra soft, flexible and comfortable fit resulting from the multiple panel design +Comfort Series - Flat Fold only: Individually packed, foldable design prevents contamination before use and allows easy storage 3M Buckle Strap Respirators +Robust and durable design provides multishift capability and secure feel +Adjustable braided headbands +Soft inner face-seal improves comfort 3M Cool Flow Valve +Effective removal of heat build-up provides a cooler and more comfortable wear +Provides longer continuous wear time +Reduces risk of fogging of spectacles and eyewear

20 19 HINTS & TIPS - 3M 4. Training in Fitting and Use Training Offered by 3M Correct use and appropriate maintenance of personal protective equipment (PPE) from 3M makes a major contribution towards ensuring that it provides effective protection. Our experienced sales and technical teams will help you make the most of your products. In compact training units, they will show you and your employees how to recognize potential hazards, suggest what measures to take and help explain how to choose the appropriate protective equipment for each particular situation. EN 149:2001+A1:2009 Standard 3M Disposable Respirators meet the requirements of European Standard EN 149: A1:2009, filtering facepiece respirators for use against solid and non-volatile liquid particles only. Products are classified by filtering efficiency and maximum total inward leakage performance (FFP1, FFP2 and FFP3), also by usability and clogging resistance. Performance tests in this standard include: +Filter penetration and extended exposure (loading) test - evaluates the filtration performance when new and over time. +Breathing resistance - evaluates the ease of breathing (inhalation and exhalation) through the respirator. +Total inward leakage - evaluates the filter penetration, valve leakage (if fitted) and importantly the face seal leakage of the respirator when worn by a panel of different people whilst conducting simulated work exercises. +Clogging resistance - evaluates the ability of the respirator to continue to function effectively and provide respiratory protection in very high dust environments. Reusable products are also subjected to a cleaning cycle (specified by the manufacturer) and 24 hour storage to confirm the product performance is not affected by re-use. Clogging resistance testing is a mandatory requirement for reusable products, but is optional for single shift use only (non reusable) products. A full copy of EN 149:2001+A1:2009 can be purchased from your national standards body. Marking designations: R = Reusable NR = Non reusable (single shift use only) D = Meets the clogging resistance requirements

21 HINTS & TIPS - 3M 20 3M EVM Environmental Monitoring Series The 3M EVM Series monitors both particulates and air quality in one compact instrument.

22 21 HINTS & TIPS - 3M The Importance of Comfort To make sure that the respirator protects you, it must be worn during all periods of exposure. Make sure that you choose a respirator that you can wear comfortably for your entire shift. Here s what to look for: Breathing ease An efficient exhalation valve and high-efficiency, low breathing resistance filter material will help you to breathe comfortably. Coolness An efficient exhalation valve minimises heat build up, particularly in hot and humid work conditions. Face and head comfort The respirator s edge should be flexible and the shape and size should cover the nose, mouth and chin without causing excessive pressure. A headband material which provides a good, even tension across the head can ensure a comfortable, secure fit for a range of head sizes. Skin comfort Skin comfort will be affected by the smoothness and softness of the inner material in contact with the skin - especially over a long period of time. A soft inner face seal and sweat absorbent nose foam will provide greater comfort. Rough or hard materials, coupled with a high temperature inside the respirator may be itchy and unpleasant. Lightweight Take advantage of technological innovation and choose a lightweight respirator for optimal comfort. Compatibility with other PPE Make sure that the respirator you select fits well with the other PPE required for your work such as eyewear and hearing protection to ensure maximum comfort.

23 HINTS & TIPS - 3M 22 The Importance of Fit Disposable respirators are most effective when there is a good seal between the edges of the respirator and your face. The instant this seal is broken, protection is compromised as contaminated air can leak in through any gaps. + The face should be clean shaven +Long hair should tied back + Using both hands, mold the noseclip to the shape of the lower part of the nose to ensure a close fit and a good seal. Do not pinch the noseclip with only one hand as may not give a good fit. Fit Check ++A pre-use fit check must be conducted every time you fit your respirator ++Cover the front of the respirator with both hands, being careful not to disturb the fit of the respirator ++Unvalved respirator exhale sharply, Valved respirator inhale sharply ++ If air leaks around the nose, re-adjust the noseclip to eliminate leakage ++ If air leaks at the respirator edges, work the straps back along the sides of the head or adjust the tension to eliminate leakage Repeat the above fit check. If you cannot achieve a proper fit do not enter the hazardous area - see your supervisor. One model of respirator may not fit everyone. Users should be fit tested in accordance with national requirements. For information on fit testing procedures, contact your safety officer or 3M.
